Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was absent from the Supreme Court bench for the second day in a row on Tuesday.

Chief Justice John Roberts noted Ginsburg’s absence when the justices took their seats for the second time in the new year.

Ginsburg, who was forced to miss her first oral argument in more than 25 years on Monday, is still recuperating at home after surgery to remove two cancerous nodules from the lower lobe of her left lung on Dec. 21.

Ginsburg, 85, is known for her stamina, having already survived two bouts of cancer prior to this most recent diagnosis — colon cancer in 1999 and pancreatic cancer in 2009.

Her recent health scare has liberals fearing their legal hero, affectionately dubbed the “Notorious RBG,” may not be able to serve the five years she said she had left in her last July.

At the age of 85, Justice Ginsberg is still working to interpret the Constitution of the United States. Your comment infers that only liberals should fear for her life. Do you honestly believe that the Supreme Court should be staffed by conservatives only? The Supreme Court of our land should be completely apolitical: we know that is not the case unfortunately. To be labeled deplorable is not a Republican, Democratic, Libertarian, Independent or Green Party term. That term is reserved specifically for the Trump party.

“Spend it while you got it “ is my opinion. Leave your money to no one. You’ll be six feet under a hard-packed clay earth, so you won’t be concerned about your wealth anymore. It’s possible that those who inherit your money won’t spend it the way you intended anyway. Just my thoughts...
